Chapter 556 What’s the use of you?
Author: Wen Qing
The day he left, the sky was still so bright.
Shen Hua watched the figure fading away and rubbed the delicate jade on her waist with her little finger, feeling a little bit lost.
"You are quite close to him."
Shen Zhi stood aside with his eyebrows furrowed, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind. Cui Yun was too kind to Yangyang. Especially the scene just now, it was like exchanging tokens.
Now that I think about it, I feel like he overlooked something.
"Didn't you ask me to call him brother? Why does brother feel bad now? Don't worry, even if he gives me hundreds of jade, he can't compare to you."
Shen Hua pouted: "Who recognizes a relative and doesn't give me a meeting gift for my junior? It's not too late for me to receive it now."
This does make sense
One sentence dispelled Shen Zhi's doubts.
He thought that a person like Cui Yun should not be a beast.
The brother and sister had their own things to do, so they returned to the house together without any further delay on the way.
Chunjun was calculating the accounts. When the two of them entered, she smiled lightly and her eyebrows were gentle.
"Have you packed your luggage to go to the school tomorrow? This time you were delayed at home for a long time. Fortunately, the master did not blame you. But there should be no less rules. He has always taken the best care of you. The master has been married for more than ten years. , His wife is in poor health, and she is pregnant now. Although she is older, this is her first child, and it is more dangerous than others. She also suffers from morning sickness. The last time she came to the house, she ate a plate of sour plums. I saw that my appetite had improved a lot, so I asked the kitchen to make some more, and you can take them with me, just as you like."
Sour plums are not valuable items, so they are not considered bribes. I can accept them without any pressure.
This is a question for Shen Pheasant.
Shen Zhi said hurriedly: "Yes."
He paused and said softly: "Master also mentioned a few words when he wrote to me."
Very tactful, very tactful.
I think a scholar would be unable to open his mouth.
It just happened that my wife was losing weight, vomiting whatever she ate, and thinking about sour plums all day long. She bought some from outside, but she always said it was not as delicious as the one at Shen's house.
I had to ask shamelessly.
Chunjun glared at him and saw that he frowned and hesitated to speak. Finally, he directly mentioned: "Your sister told me about the Xiao family. What do you think?"
A son of Shen Zhi's age had a pale and red face. He compiled his words for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"It is true that her son is pleased with her and cannot bear her suffering in the Xiao family."
His desire to marry her has become extremely urgent. I don't know why, but it seems that if he can't catch her this time, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
This idea is getting stronger and stronger.
"I still have to worry about it."
Chunjun was waiting for his words.
She went out for this purpose: "Yangyang, please help your brother and deliver these to Madam Xiao."
Shen Hua held the baggage given by Chun Yun and glared at Shen Pheasantly.
"What's the use of you?"
At critical moments, she, the younger sister, needs to take action.
Shen Hua hummed as she carried the objects and went out.
Soon, a carriage stopped in front of Xiao's house.
Shen Hua came here at night, but after all, her vision was limited and it was not as clear as seeing it during the day.
The remote streets of Fengzhou City were in sharp contrast to the bustling areas. She turned into a narrow alley.
The noisy market atmosphere came rushing in.
The door of Xiao's house was slightly open, and loud crying could be heard through the crack inside.
"Aniang! The cake my sister gave me is missing a piece. She must have eaten it secretly!"
Clearly spoiled.
"Desolate! Everything in the house should be left to me. My mother-in-law said, what kind of cakes can you, a girl, eat?"
Then came Mother Xiao's high-pitched voice.
"Okay, your sister just ate a piece! Isn't it enough to give them all to you?"
What followed was intense questioning.
"Where did you get the money to buy it?"
"Don't steal the money in my house? I just said there are a few copper coins missing! Those were saved by brother Quan. You are killing me!"
"That's enough!" Father Xiao scolded. The annoying crying stopped.
"It's just a few copper coins, what's the fuss about?"
The wind picked up a piece of the girl's clothes, and she stood bleakly without joy. She heard Father Xiao say: "Your mother-in-law is wrong, but what she said is entirely reasonable. Sometimes I make a promise to your mother-in-law.
It will be a little biased, but you have to understand us."
He lowered his head bleakly.
"Dad, brother Quan ran into my house and rummaged through the cabinets. You have to take care of this matter."
Mother Xiao was not happy when she heard this.
"What's wrong with my brother entering your house? He just wants to see if you are hiding anything behind our backs. How can it be a crime?"
Father Xiao: "Sese is a big girl. What's wrong with her?"
"She's just being pretentious."
Xiao Sese's eyes were a little red. She looked at her mother, vaguely trying to see in her how desperate she was when she saved herself many years ago.
However, time has passed too long.
She was still young at the time and had forgotten all but fragments.
I just remember vaguely that there was such a thing.
"Auntie, I didn't go get the money from the main house. This snack is..."
Xiao's mother was even more annoyed: "That's even more outrageous! Are you secretly saving your own money?"
In her opinion, this matter was too serious, and Xiao Sesu should subsidize her mother's family even if she was married.
Standing outside the door was a stern-faced, weather-beaten little girl. She was dressed elegantly and delicately.
The girl kicked the door open and walked in without hesitation.
"What's wrong with saving private money? As a child, you should be filial, but I've never heard of you having to be filial to your younger brother."
Shen Hua looked at the dirty man who was eating snacks, with crumbs at the corners of his mouth. He was a head shorter than her, and raised his chin with great momentum: "I don't know, I thought he was the ancestor of your Xiao family who was reincarnated as a human again.
"
Xiao's mother was furious, but she had always been a bully. When she saw the group of minions following Shen Hua, she immediately fell silent.
When Shen Hua went out this time, she was very impressive and brought a lot of people with her. It looked like she was here to fight.
The moment Father Xiao saw Shen Hua, his eyes flashed brightly.
This is the young lady of the Shen family.
"How many copper coins? Who is the poor one?"
Yicui glanced at it: "There are eight pieces of these transparent rice cakes, each worth twenty taels of silver. Our lady bought them for sixteen taels."
"So expensive?"
Xiao's mother didn't ask how Shen Hua gave it, and immediately patted Xiao Sesel in distress.
"You're such a heartless person, why do you have the nerve to eat it?"
"I gave this to Sister Xiao."
Shen Hua: "Why can't she still eat it?"
Without waiting for others to explain, the little girl is arrogant and vicious: "What should I do? I am the most unreasonable person. Even if Sister Xiao throws it away, it is not something that outsiders can take at will."
"If I see him daring to break into Sister Xiao's house, he must have taken the coins in your house. At such a young age, if he doesn't do anything bad, he has to be a thief."
"Should I pay the money directly, or should I report it to the official?"
